Blues Solo Summative

This is my new and improved solo, I used the feedback Aiden, Grace and Nicola gave me to produce a better solo. They told me to make some notes longer, and that the last note should sound more finished. I looked around a bit and changed a few notes. In my draft solo some notes just did not fit together, for instance; there was an E flat in the 6th measure and did not sound like it connected with the piece of music. I changed this into a D half note because I thought it sounded more jazzy and flowed well. Now that I have fixed up my solo a little bit, I think it sounds really good! Next time, I think I should practice more on playing my solo because than I would know if I could play it or not. That would also be putting some easier notes that I could play. I am very proud of this piece of music and I hope you like it too!

Mette,
I think your solo has good rhythm and you used a variety of different notes; both high and low. One thing you could have added to your solo is more structure (you can do this by repeating a few bars), this can make the solo catchier. Overall, this is a great solo!

Your solo sounds very bluesy and I like how you used the chords we learnt in class and also notes from the blues scale. I particularly liked the last line. Every thing sounds great, but it looks very hard to play!

Mette,
I think this is a great solo and I think the changes you made to it make it even better! I think that one thing you could have changed is to make the notes a bit more bluesy to make it sound a bit more like a blues song. But overall I think it a great solo, good job!

I really like your solo, because you used many different rhythms. I think that you could play around with the low notes a bit more instead of just the high notes(like the first bar). Overall I think your solo is really good and catchy.
